Anybody running lightweight battery?

I thought about getting one but im not sure which would be good. I drive a lot during the day so it should keep a charge. Im not sure though because im a 6th gen. Well I know theres some people ou there with em so if you could please post which battery your running, the weight, and the best place to buy. Hope im not asking for to much. Thanks .org members!

Yes, I'm running, or should I say was running the Odyssey PC 680.

Here's the thread I started on the subject.

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hlight=battery

I was having starting problems this winter so I replaced it with a regular battery. I did a little research and found out that guys that run this battery often use a Battery Tender in conjunction with it.

This is the one I bought.

From what I understand you need the 6 amp version with this battery.

My PC 680 will be reinstalled in the spring.

Hawker Genesis 13EP or something like that. Great size & weight but won't hold a charge in very cold beyond like 72hrs. I've heard too the $10 battery tenders are helpful. $60-$70 usually. The 200SX/Sentra community did like a hundred of these things before me. You can see it somewhere in this mess.

i have the PC680MJT as well. i got mine off ebay and got 2 more at the same time for blu & sr. i think the seller was odyssey world or something similar. we saved on shipping and he knocked a few off for buying 3 at one time. try and locate him and see what the best deal he throw you.

Sounds good. Is there anything else you need to purchase for the battery to mount or work properly?
